At the Sharjah Research, Technology, and Innovation Park (SRTI Park) in the UAE, Doctory, a health technology company, and SRTI Park have joined forces to introduce “Masand”, an innovatory medical bag for fast diagnostics and telehealth services during big events like the Hajj pilgrimage. “Masand” was developed inside the Sharjah Open Innovation Lab (SoiLAB) and brings together connected technology, flexible equipment, and fast diagnosis to support patients in areas with limited resources.

The initiative proves why SRTI Park is respected across the region for changing research innovations into real healthcare outcomes. Furthermore, because of how it supported emergency responses in the holy sites during Hajj, healthcare regulators have noticed it, and it further underlines how innovations in Sharjah benefit many people worldwide.
